Sony VPCCB17FX/B is a notebook computer that comes with a hard disk drive (HDD). It is important to handle the computer with care to avoid damage to the case. Before replacing the HDD, make sure to turn off the computer, close the lid, and disconnect the AC adapter. You should also remove any jewelry to prevent scratches to the surface of the computer.

The HDD replacement process involves removing the battery pack, hard drive door, and hard drive assembly. Once the old HDD is removed, you can prepare the new HDD for assembly by placing the hard drive bracket over it. Re-install the four (4) Hard Drive Bracket screws to secure the Hard Drive Bracket to the New Hard Drive.
